You can simulate the blast radius and fallout here:

800 kiloton is generally the typical maximum size on a russian intercontinental ballistic missile

Mod Edit

On BOTH sides.

ANd remember the biggest bombs detonated by the USSR ar 1000 times the strength of the OP's illustration. One bomb = ten times all the munitions used in WW2.

I don't want to be incinerated because of warm feelings for Ukraine.

Standard maximum payload of Russian ICBM is 800 kiloton nuclear warhead. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were about 16 kilolotons, so 50 times stronger than WWII

USSR did design some stupid large bombs, the "Tsar Bomba" at 100 MEGATONS, which is 125 times this ICBM type and 6,250 TIMES bigger than Hiroshima or Nagasaki

They actually tested and set off a 50 megaton version of the Tsar Bomba
